Description
Amon in the text
Amon appears in two different contexts in the Bible. In Jeremiah 46:25, Amon refers to the Egyptian god, who was one of the most important deities in ancient Egypt. Amon was often combined with the sun god Ra to form the deity Amon-Ra, the king of the gods. The prophecy in Jeremiah 46 foretells the punishment of Egypt and its gods, including Amon.
In Nam.3.8, Amon is mentioned as a city, which is most likely a reference to Thebes, the ancient capital of Egypt. Thebes was known as "No-Amon," meaning "the city of Amon," due to the prominence of the god Amon in the city. Nahum compares the fate of Nineveh to that of Thebes, which had been conquered and destroyed despite its power and the protection of its god.
Relations
Direct connections
Every entity the graph places in a stated relation with this one, grouped by the kind of link. Each relation is authored once and its inverse derived, so both ends always agree. Rows marked “registry” come from the identity spine rather than from a verse, and a row marked “which bearer is the source’s decision” is one where the name could have meant more than one person. The last group is not a relation at all — it counts the events two entities stand in together.
The pattern
Where Amon is named
Every book of the corpus in the order it is read, each as wide as the chapters it holds. A bar is the verses of that book which write the name, and the flat stretches are as much of the answer as the bars.
2 verses across 2 of 66 books; 64 write the name nowhere. Named in Jeremiah (1) and Nahum (1).
